Ah, nice. Immediately adapted/stolen ;-)

Doesn't happen here, response is instant. Maybe because I'm using
the most recent screen version? Or because I don't use urlview,
but my urlpager python script from
<http://www.blacktrash.org/hg/muttils/>.

Perhaps the following works better, it opens a new screen for the
choice (I have to redraw otherwise):

bind ^b eval "hardcopy /tmp/screendump" "exec screen -X screen urlview 
/tmp/screendump"

I don't think there's a way that something like
"hardcopy /dev/stdout" would work, plus forcing the output
thereof into a pipe. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
